Went to Saul’s after a day off of work and a long walk in the snow with Liz then a nap. Saul took a few runs then had to run his daughter somewhere so I had the bowl to myself for a bit. Then Dave showed. I skated much better. I credit the softer wheels and the regular Venture baseplates instead of the forged ones. They turn a bit tighter. But yeah, I didn’t bail too many axle stalls like last time and I was landing most of my grinds. I was still having problems keeping my speed though. Still gotta figure out how to pump out of tricks. Dave was shredding it. All the tricks above and then some. Saul came back. He did some frontside carves and slashes along with doing his crazy fast grinds even faster. Carleigh showed and only got to skate for a bit, but got in a few runs and started to get a feel for it. It was a fun session. Definitely the best I’ve skated it. Super hyped on this bowl.

Back in the garage for a bit before the Deimos premiere. Hucked the same tricks. Got less close to the half nab flip, but closer to switch front heel. Couldn’t do a 360 flip. The garage is small for that. Especially with the bigger board.

Hit the garage on a cold and snowy night. I had a new challenge to do from Josh, nollie frontside flip, aka half nab flip aka Janoski flip. I would get remotely close. I committed several times, but just couldn’t get it to flip consistently when I committed. I tried my normal setup, my 8.1 and the putter. They were all about the same. I also spent awhile trying hardflips and switch front heel. I feel like switch front heel is possible. Who knows. I skated before and after dinner. It was pretty fun.

After dinner with the family and power being restored to our house I took a few tries to manual from the dining room table to the bathroom.
